Random Model S sightings

[EdA]

What does this even mean?!?

The picture was rotated 90 degrees, so he joked that that was some "banked (sloped) curve"...

You are good in answering questions. I've got another one for you. Why do people post rotated images like that?

because the image's metadata contains enough info so that some software will present it right side up and they don't know that it will be rotated when they post it ... but that info is ignored when presented here.

Oh, I see. That's a good one. Thanks.

So this isn't technically a random Model S, but definitely random and definitely related...

On I5 in North San Diego county today. Taken from a Model S at least.

This. I didn't notice it until now. Pic was taken on an iPhone. In fact it still displays correctly on my phone via Tapatalk.

Interesting license plate...

Spotted on I-95 heading north from Ft. Lauderdale on Monday. The temp plate was only a few days old....congratulations! (and I was listening to the Neil Diamond radio for my stepfather.....I swear!)

Nobody believes you, but Neil Diamond is retro cool, so it's all good

You're forgiven because a good old James Taylor song was playing .

Be careful...Sweet Caroline causes tooth decay.

Full disclosure: I am old enough, and actually did at one time buy a Neil Diamond song. :smile:

Only posting because it's first one I've seen "in the wild" and I'm sure one of the very few in Central Virginia. Saw a blue one in Charlottesville yesterday on 250 bypass. Sorry no pics, it was going the other way. Didn't have plates, so must be fairly new.

It was a foggy morning in Palo Alto when two Teslas drove by...

What you can't see is the Leaf that's behind the silver Model S. Three EV's in a row is pretty good. Here's another shot of the silver car.

It's tempting to get a "100kwh" vanity plate just for the conversation starter.

Arer you sure that "fog" wasn't exhaust fumes? Oh, wait...never mind.

Latest spotting for me was a blue one on 19's today at a bicycle race SW of Seattle (Mason Lake to be precise). I was wondering if someone in the local cycling community might be among the early adopters! Great to see!

Cheers!

Had my racing days and Tesla driving days lined up that could have been me. Boy did I hate the Mason Lake series... nothing like riding around for 50 miles in 40 degree rain. At least the weather was ok this weekend.

We definitely lucked out on the weather yesterday! One of the nicest days I can remember for the Mason series in the last ten years. Not a drop of rain, mostly sunny and even very little wind. I don't ever recall having trouble seeing in the last few miles of the lap because of wearing dark lenses and the flickering light of the sun shining through the trees.

Sorry for the off topic bike race talk. I'll be sure to stop and introduce myself the next time I see this fellow bike racer in their S!

Cheers!
